[WASTE-list] Next update?

[Ryan Joseph]

I think it would be wise for you to pull WASTE asap because it's  
virtually inevitable you will run into a problem which won't be fixed  
and ultimately jeopardize your project. Using NSTextView in an  
HICocoaView is the Carbon solution unless the more limited MLTE will  
work. My overhaul was a totally nightmare (still going) but the end  
result is a much more powerful and flexible API.

I'm sorry to advocate anti-WASTE and the mail list but I don't want to  
see people get stuck in the same mess I did. The writings on the wall,  
Apple is not supporting Carbon and NSTextView is simply better than  
WASTE, if you can stomach all the Objective-C. Sadly there's no place  
for WASTE anymore and I think that's prompted the halt in development,  
which makes perfect sense.

I personally begged Marco multiple times for definitive answers about  
this so I could make my decision to move on but I think everyone would  
appreciate the same. Thank you.
